This is one of the few lab records by the Research Institute of the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office. During the Japanese colonial period, the Industrial Research Institute of the Governor-General’s Office in Taiwan developed in three periods: the first was the Ministry of Chemistry and the Ministry of Health in the Research Institute of the Taiwan Governor-General’s Office (1909–1921); the second was the Central Research Institute of the Governor-General’s Office of Taiwan which included the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Forestry, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Health and General Affairs (1921–1939); after that followed the establishment of the Agricultural Laboratory, Forestry Laboratory, Industrial Research Institute and Institute of Tropical Medicine (1939–1945). Under the collaboration between the industries and the Japanese government, each stage had its own industrial policies. In addition to the development and utilization of resources and the improvement of product quality, there were more technical transfer or counseling, trying to promote the equalization of wealth of the country and industry.

About

Cultural experimentation anticipates a disobedient attitude that facilitates cultural reversion and creative collision. When experiments become an attitude, a wide spectrum of cultural initiatives and fresh paths will unfold and extend like water, shock, sonic, light, or electric waves.

C-LAB hopes to showcase the cultures of contemporary creators, makers, sharers and participants to nurture a fresh ecology of cultural creation, which emerges as a cloud sharing platform for all contemporary readers, utilizing humanistic digital technologies while incorporating contemporary art perspectives as well as cultural observation to introduce innovation into society through culture.

CLABO, an online journal published by C-LAB, aims to create confluences of cultural creators and serve as a community platform for all partners of cultural experiment projects. With unprecedented cultural experiments, we have started bravely venturing into the future!
